Women, Mid-Life & Menopause Fun!

The main purpose of this website and the cartoons is to show women that menopause (actually, this time of our lives) can be FUN! Sometimes you just have to look a little harder to FIND it, but it's out there! So many women have found a way to make us all laugh andact silly and forget the hot flashes, even if for a few moments! "Minnie Pauz" is very happy to bring some of the funnier stuff out in theopen for you, starting with the Minnie Pauz e-cards!

The Marvelous Wonderettes is a cotton-candy colored, non-stop musical blast from the past; featuring favorite songs from the ‘50s and beyond, The Marvelous Wonderettes takes you to the 1958 Springfield High School prom where we meet the Wonderettes, four girls with hopes and dreams as big as their crinoline skirts and voices to match!

It seems that thousands and thousands of women are dressing up in purple clothing and red hats to parade around their town, literally "parade" in many cases, all in the name of having fun! Hey, at our age, we can do anything we want, right? I'm not sure if "Minnie" will join or not, but she's REALLY fond of hats, so we'll have to wait and see.

When I am an old woman, I shall wear purpleWith a red hat which doesn't go, and doesn't suit me.And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer glovesAnd satin sandals, and say we've no money for butter...from Warning by Jenny Joseph

That's the poem that started it all. Since then, the red hat has come to symbolize awoman's right to have fun at any age-- and to do it in style!

Check out the Sisterhood of Purple created by Jody Houghton more than 20 years ago!Jody's newest book, "Girlfriend Wisdom" was released at the Biltmore Hotel in Phoenix, Arizona to over 1,200 wonderfully bodacious women all wearing purple and red! We hope you, too,will embrace the motto: "Live, Laugh, Love."

Then there's The Red Hat Ladies which was founded in 1972 by Sue Crumley of Austin, Texas, andin 2000, the Red Hat Society, was founded by Sue Ellen Cooper of Fullerton, California

A "red hat" is more than an accessory to these women. It makes a statement about the attitude of women today. It symbolizes a woman's refusal to become old-minded, boring, and rigid.
